Mr Hill said music fans weren't to be deterred by the appalling weather conditions: “Over the weekend we had some of the most awful rain which was disappointing but you can't really make arrangements for that.

“We had more than 1,500 people which was pretty good, with people coming from all over the UK, from places like Portsmouth, Kent and the North East.

“We've helped put Mold on the map in that sense and it was a fantastic weekend of Blues and Soul.”

Mr Broadhurst said organisers had big plans for the event moving forward. He said: “We brought over three artists from overseas – France, the US and Greece – and as far as I'm concerned, we're moving to make the festival more international.

“Things were dampened slightly by the rain but people were generally in good spirits in the typical stoic British attitude.”
